They are all hanging on my fridge - which accounts for the funny angles..LOL I will tell you this. These pictures do not do them justice. There is something about a handmade card in person that is lost by camera. I will post more later.

Yikes - Away so Long!

I am so sorry I have been away for so long. December really crept up on me. As you know I have a new job - which has been great. I am learning so many new things and I work with a great group of people.

My Cat has been driving my husband and I crazy!!! He is into this biting thing and bites anything and everything. For this reason we decided NOT to put up the Christmas Tree this year :O( While I am sad, I would be more sad if kitty got the jolt of his life chewing on the lights. I have the week between Christmas and New Years off and will hopefully be using that time to get things settled in my head so I can concentrate on the New Year.

I hope you are having a great Holiday Season and that you have the opportunity to spend time with your friends and family.

Thank you to everyone who sent me Christmas Cards. I will be posting them on my blog this week!

Anyway, I know we are all busy getting ready for the Holiday - but I wanted to let you know about a new promotion Stampin Up has going on - which will get you ready for the next RED holiday (VALENTINES).

A Stampers Christmas Poem

A friend of mine sent this to me in an email. It was so cute I had to share. I hope it brings a smile to your face. :O)

Twas the night before Christmas, I'm glued to the tree.
I'm wondering what Santa brought just for me.
Could it be cardstock or chipboard or lace?
Or a Big Shot, I said, with a smile on my face.
And that's when I heard him,
"Hi Santa, " I said
"You know....good little girls
Should be in their beds."
"I know I should Santa,
And now I've got caught.
But I was just so excited
To see what you brought."
"Well, let's take a look
In this room where you work. "
He shook his head quickly,
And left with a jerk.
I heard him exclaim
As he put it in gear.
"You've got enough crap,
I'll see you next year!"

And yet - more cards...

Here is another idea for your Christmas cards.



This one was made by Lucy. Lucy used the Mr. Twigster and the Best Yet (hostess) stamp sets for this card. Here is the recipe:

Cardstock: Riding Hood Read, Kiwi Kiss, Chocolate Hip, Whisper White
Designer Paper: Holiday Treasures
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Riding Hood Read, Kiwi Kiss
Embellishments: Chocolate Chip 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon
Accessories: Scallop Border Punch, Blender Pen

After squeezing a closed ink pad you transfer some of the ink to the cover of the container. You can then dip your blender pen into this ink and use it to color your stamped image. This is helpful when using our In Colors since we do not have matching markers. It is also helpful if you haven't yet purchased the matching marker, but you have the ink.

Don't have Mr Twigster or Best Yet - remember look beyond the Stamp set. This is a great card layout that can be used with almost any stamp set.

Hope you like this one as much as I do...
